Welcome to the Meta home page of the Wikimedia Foundation News Blog. Run by the Wikimedia Foundation, the blog publishes announcements from the organization.

Drafting a post

In an effort to develop strategic campaigns and content that advance our goals, we will no longer be accepting incoming requests or pre-written content for the blog. Rather, we encourage you to reach out to us directly at talktocommswikimedia.org with an explanation of your communications aims so that we can work with you to determine the strategies and tactics that will have the biggest impact. For community-focused or technical posts, refer to #Other blogs instead.
